Before Sen. Bernie Sanders jetted off from a Des Moines rally early this week to impeachment hearings that have him locked down far from Iowa, the candidate remarked on how prescient his presidential campaign slogan turned out to be.
It’s a tough predicament for Sanders and his fellow senators in the presidential race, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Michael Bennet of Colorado, who are left to fidget in their seats in Washington as impeachment proceedings lumber on. They are not allowed to so much as glance at an Apple Watch for campaign updates .
Tuesday night, some 1,200 rallygoers cheered former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg in Cedar Rapids as operatives for the senatorial candidates scrambled to figure out whether their bosses could slip out long enough to interact with voters over livestreams . Hundreds more voters were out again for Buttigieg on Wednesday morning in Dubuque as the senators were back in lockdown.
Her daughter has taken over Klobuchar’s Twitter feed. Klobuchar “hot dish house parties” are scheduled through the state. She had a tele-town hall optimistically planned for 8:30 p.m. Iowa time Wednesday, just after the day’s trial session was scheduled to wrap. Audiences just don’t embrace beamed-in candidates the same way they do actual candidates, said David Redlawsk, a political scientist from the University of Delaware traveling Iowa to study the caucuses. He was at an event in Des Moines on Sunday that Buttigieg attended by Skype.But being stuck in Washington does come with some campaign advantages. Impeachment dominates the news — including in Iowa — and these senators are in the middle of it.
Precisely the reason I'm not inclined to vote for BS. I actually do find BS likeable... but ... When you hear the opinions of those in his inner circle, it's pure cringe. Folks should understand: That cringe-crew will be his Cabinet, and his Secretary of State.

Buttigieg's unlikely Iowa rise now carries high expectationsPete Buttigieg finds himself in a place that he could hardly have contemplated when he began running for president a year ago: He likely cannot finish lower than second in the Iowa caucuses if he wants to advance in the Democratic presidential nominating campaign. “I’m not sure a win is necessary, If he finishes behind Biden he’s toast. And he’s well behind Biden. Suing Bernie over campaign finance probably isn’t helping.

What the Biggest Swing County in Iowa Says About 2020Howard County, Iowa, voted by more than 20 percentage points for Obama in 2012 and by more than 20 points for Trump in 2016. What such voters do this year could have national implications Cornfed hicks in small state no one cares about has massive sway in the election. Thats so American. As California has only 2 senators, same amount as Iowa... If they swung that far, I’d suggest lots of Xanax for the county’s citizens That kind of swing was bc it has so many independents and Clinton was a poor poor choice given the baggage and most importantly bc the place was very very tiny, with only ~4300 votes cast. V likely not representative. Thus it is statistically invalid to draw any conclusions.

Trump team locks down Iowa after getting burned by Ted Cruz in 2016The spotlights are on the Democrats' wide-open race in Iowa, but President Trump's reelection campaign is working to try to persuade Republican voters to turn out at their caucus sites, too, in an effort to avoid delegate issues from 2016. Who woulda thought politics could be such a money maker for the media? It's like the gift that just keeps giving, I bet the media outfits hope it never ends So Biden has Iowa mostly to himself, yet drops in the polls. Such a mystery. RT We've watched Biden's stellar career of getting caught lying, telling other people's war stories as if they were his,.... So now we'll know he's a crook using his position to bilk the countries he's supposed to be helping?

Leaning in: Elizabeth Warren makes a pitch to women in the Iowa home stretchThrough most of the campaign year, Elizabeth Warren’s message has been built mostly around class, not gender. But starting in the run-up to last week’s televised debate in Iowa, she has increasingly pressed a gender-focused message. Too bad for Warren. She's alienating half of the electorate by doing that. As she should. It’s about time. Men got the world into this mess. Women will get it back on track.
